GROW YOUR OWN FOOD

We’ve gone from owning a huge garden to renting a little patch of concrete that we’re now calling our backyard. Of course back when we still lived in our house with the garden I was not yet too into gardening or growing my own food. Well, the day has come and I have to make the best of our tiny, sad, grey yard that’s made purely from stones and brick.

Solution here is a container garden. I already had few big pots from my tomato growing experiment last year, so all I needed to do is get some plants from our farmer’s market. I picked kale (hail to kale!), mint (summer calls for mojitos!) and cherry tomato plant. The man who sold them to me recommended feeding them once a month and that’s it. I think I’ll be able to do that. Last year I started feeding my tomatoes too late in the season and therefore I didn’t get too many. So let’s see how I do this year!
